[gentoo-user] Sound with xfce4 and Firefox

[gentoo-user] Sound with xfce4 and Firefox

[dhk]

I don't use sound very often, but recently I noticed when I play news
videos in Firefox there isn't any sound coming through the headphones.
It's an Intel 32bit box with xfce4.  I don't have speakers hooked up
just headphones and it use to work a few months ago.  I suspect it
stopped working after an upgrade.  Is this something to do with xfce4,
Firefox, or something else?

Thanks,

dhk

I don't see a mixer/volume in the menu, but I do have
xfce-extra/xfce4-volumed and gnome-base/gnome-volume-manager installed.
 Is there suppose to be a mixer?  I would think so, but I thought xfce4
may work differently.  Is there a mixer/volume I need to emerge?  Maybe
it got uninstalled.

Thanks,

alsa comes with alsamixer, you can find it via the console
and i also meant the volume of the video itself - just to be sure
any other applications that produce a sound?
